SOAP.

No Drawing.

The principal object of my invention is to produce a soft toilet soap that will wash clean with or without using water. In carrying out my invention I proceed as'follows:

These substances are mixed and boiled until thoroughly dissolved as otherwise the gly cerine and cocoanut oil will not properly mix with the other ingredients. 7

In another vessel I dissolve one pound of stearic acid and eight ounces of. sal soda in six quarts of soft boiling water and let them come to a boil and boil until they dissolve' The stearic acid is used to solidify the mixture. The reason why the stearic acid is not used in the first mixture is because it would not mix with the other ingredients.

After the two mixtures or solutions have been allowed to boil until thoroughly mixed they are combined and allowed to boil for about forty-five minutes or until they are thoroughly mixed. In this way a soft soap is obtained thatwill wash clean either with or without the use of water. After boiling, the mixture is taken from. the fire and set in a cool place until lukewarm.

Application filed September 16, 1927. Serial No. 220,067.

I then add two ounces of sulphuric ether or motor ether to make the mixture jell. When in itsliquid jelly form it is stirred until a nice soft soap is produced.

The soapwill remo've'any grease or grime,

paint, tar and many other things and as before stated, it can be used either with or without water. Itls not 111]]11'10118 to the hands or skin and experience has demonstrated that I it is really good for chapped and sore hands and can be used on the hair without injury. It is very useful for cleaning clothing or any fabric.

I claim as my invention:

1. The process of producing a soft soap consisting of boiling a mixture of castile soap, bicarbonate of soda, borax, glycerine and cocoanut oil in soft water, adding thereto a boiled mixture of stearic-acid and sal soda, boiling the combined mixture and adding to thefmass sulfuric ether.

2. The process of making a soapwhich consists in boiling in 10 quarts of soft water 3 pounds of castile soap, 4 ounces of bicarbonateof soda, 4 ounces of borax, 4 ounces of glycerine and 2 ounces of cocoanut oil, adding thereto a boiled mixture ofl pound of stearic acid and 8 ounces of sal soda, allowving the combined mixture to cool and adding thereto 2 ounces of sulfuric ether andstirring the mixture to produce a soft soap.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
